LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent an unsigned letter to the European Union on Saturday requesting a delay to Brexit but he also sent another message in which he stated he did not want the extension, a government source said. 
（路透社·伦敦）- 本周六，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊向欧盟递交了一封未署名信件请求延期脱欧，但是在另一封信件中，他又表达了不希望延期脱欧的讯息，一位政府知情人士透露。
Johnson was compelled by a law, passed by opponents last month, to ask the bloc for an extension to the current Brexit deadline of Oct. 31 until Jan. 31 after lawmakers thwarted his attempt to pass his EU divorce deal earlier on Saturday. 
约翰逊受限于上个月由反对派议员通过的一项将脱欧期限由10月31日推迟到1月31日的立法，因为本周六早些时候，议员又再一次挫败了他通过脱欧协议的努力。
“I have made clear since becoming Prime Minister and made clear to parliament again today, my view, and the Government’s position, that a further extension would damage the interests of the UK and our EU partners, and the relationship between us,” Johnson said in the third letter, published on Twitter by the Financial Times’ Brussels correspondent.
约翰逊在递交给欧盟的第三封信件里说：“自从当上英国首相之日，我就很清楚地表达了我的观点和执政理念，即再次延期脱欧有损英国和我们的欧盟伙伴的共同利益与双方关系。” 以上内容被金融时报驻布鲁塞尔记者发表在推特上。
